    Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy. A food chain represents a single path of energy transfer between organisms like producers and consumers, and a food web shows the interconnected food chains in an ecosystem. Energy and matter flow through trophic levels in a food chain from producers to various consumer levels, and ecological pyramids illustrate the biomass present at each trophic level.

    Ch.2 Section 2 In-Class Note


    Section 2: Organisms and Their Relationships

    Main Idea:

    Autotroph

    • An organism that collects ______________________ from ______________________________________to

    make food

    • The foundation of all ecosystems because they make energy available for all other organisms

    Heterotrph

    • Organisms that get their energy by consuming other organisms – “______________________”

    1. ______________________:

    2. ______________________:

    3. ______________________:

    4. ______________________:

    Food Chain

    • A food chain is a simple model that shows _________________________________________ through

    an ecosystem
    Food Web

    • A food web is a model representing the ___________________________________________ food

    chains and pathways in which energy flows through a group of organisms

    Energy Flow

    • Food Chain & Food Web

    ➔ show the ____________________________________________ through an ecosystem

    • Each step is called a ____________________________________

    ➔ Organisms at each level get their energy from the trophic level below them

    Ecological Pyramid

    • Diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy, biomass, or numbers of organisms at each

    trophic level

    • ________________________________________ is the total mass of living matter
